For Women In Science 2011 Launch Event
27 January 2011
Venue: The Library Events Room – The Royal Society, 6-9 Carlton House Terrace, London SW1Y 5AG
This event is the first of its kind. It will launch the 2011 FWIS call for applications by brining together past and present For Women in Science fellows, helping to build the FWIS fellows community.
The L’Oréal-UNESCO For Women In Science programme was founded by UNESCO and L’Oréal to help promote and ensure greater participation of women in science. The UK and Ireland-level fellowships, now in their fifth year, offer awards to outstanding female postdoctoral researchers. The £15,000 fellowships have been designed to provide practical help for the winners to undertake research in their chosen fields.
Please note that this event is by invitation only.
